It took the 40 volunteers about 18 months to put all the tiny plastic blocks together, and their creation shows a standing Jesus facing forward with his arms outstretched. The Protestant church was filled to capacity with about 400 worshippers Sunday when the statue went on display behind the altar, and some of the children in the congregation couldn't help but touch the white art work. canews To quote the Curt Jester: Silly parish, he is the LOGOS not the LEGOS

It is one of the few images that truely gives me a feeling of the humanity of Jesus. The statue from Our Lady Immaculate and St Philip Neri Church in Uckfield just makes me think "Look - No Hands!"
